Fractal Design Meshify S2

Overview

Fractal Design has done something with the Meshify S2 that is surprisingly needed in the modern case market; they’ve made a case that is quite functional. Tempered glass has such a dominant grip on the market that it has driven many chassis engineers to throw away everything we had learned about cooling a pc in favor of what is a purely aesthetic pursuit. It is so overwhelmingly the standard, that it’s a challenge to even find a case designed with high airflow in mind. This is somewhat surprising as generally neither CPUs, nor GPUs have really made strides in producing any less heat than they ever have.
